As already pointed out, evolutionists have come up with the scenario that monkeys and humans share a common ancestor. But this preconception, unscientific and full of contradictions, further invalidates the so-called evolutionary tree. Because evolutionists begin with the hypothesis that the chimpanzee is man's closest relative, they also try to establish similarities between the behavior of monkeys and humans. Doing so, they try to give the impression that the chimpanzee is the closest to man in terms of intelligence. However, several creatures disprove the assertion that the chimpanzee is the next most intelligent being, after man.

The aforementioned Professor Irene Pepperberg, trainer of Alex as well as other an African Grey parrot by the name of "Griffin," proves this. It was long believed that playing with objects and speaking were behaviors found only in humans. But Pepperberg's observations disprove this:

Human children start combining their labels at about 22 months… So, they start not just identifying"cookie" and "milk," but will say "want milk" or "want more cookie."

And they also tend to develop this combinatorial behaviour at the same time as they start doing physical combinations of their toys. So, they will start stacking cups in serried sizes, and things like that. 40

Parrots' ability to make connections between events and sounds was the subject of Pepperberg's speech at a meeting at the American Association for the Advancement of Science:

"Is He Who creates like him who does not create? So will you not pay heed? If you tried to number God's blessings, you could never count them." (Qur'an, 16:17-18)
